MS Office/Publisher

[MAVERICKS CHOICE]

I have Pub 2002 & looking to install silently, checked guides & googled have not been able to locate this just curious if at all possible?

So, you have got Publisher 2002 as a separate application?

[MAVERICKS CHOICE]

Thats right not part of office xp

Do you have a file named setup.ini? I think you should have it on your CD.

[MAVERICKS CHOICE]

Yes its located in the setup dir it mentions a mst file looks similar to the office admin install is that correct?

[mazin]

Unless you need to slipstream patches (MSPs), you don't need to do admin install.

But, you can customize your installation using setup.ini along with setup.exe.

I only have the msi installer package?

[mazin]

Well!

Then, there's one attempt. I suggest you run the MSI like this:

publisher.msi /QB PIDKEY=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx

Hope it works.

Just slipstreamed sp3 into publisher but just wandering how to incorporate the serial no like office? Now I have setup.exe in the Publisher dir.

The procedure is all the same as for office. Look here at the MSFN unattended guide for detailed, step-by-step instructions - http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/officexp.htm.

If you slipstreamed patches, then you've done AIP. So, you can't use setup.ini. Instead, you use the MST you've created, supposedly.

Yeah sorry it saved to C:Publisher I was looking in the orig dir where I slipstreamed it. Working fine now.Anyway would this be fine to install unattended:

ECHO.

ECHO Installing Microsoft Publisher XP SP2

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\pubxp\setup.exe /q

I believe the guide clearly states that this is the switch to use, it is:

/qb-
